Abstract

In wireless mesh networks (WMNs) the traffic-aware reliable gateway selection is the key for enhancing the quality of service (QoS) to improve the network performance. In this paper, we have proposed the novel traffic aware reliable gateway selection (TARGS) scheme to improve the QoS in WMNs. In the TARGS scheme, the aggregated traffic at a particular Mesh Router (MR) is calculated using two QoS parameters that are connecting degree and interface queue length. Based on the aggregated traffic, the candidate internet gateways (CIGs) are selected in the region where a high amount of traffic is generated. Internet gateways (IGWs) are chosen based on the reliability value, which is obtained for each CIG using the path tracing method. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has outperformed two existing schemes in the literature and obtained lower average latency and traffic load and higher throughput than the existing schemes.
